Hoai River is a small tributary of Thu Bon River which is a inseparable symbol of the town. This small gently river is also a witness of the locals daily livelihoods as their main job is sailing and carrying travelers on their boats along the river.An attractive characteristic of all boats here is that they are not equipped motors so you can feel a truly ancient, simple and close town when the local ferryman slowly move their paddles forward. Not only admire the ancient beauty of Hoi An, travelers will also hear interesting daily stories from hospitable ferryman. The pleasant sound of the paddles when it hit the water in a peaceful space will make your impression about Hoi An more beautiful. If given the chance, try to get on a boat on Hoai River in the evening, especially in lantern night and remember to buy a small lantern light then release it on to the water. The color lights from houses, restaurants and lantern lights make the river sparkling as a fairy tale
